In this episode of Be The Church Podcast, Pastor Luke Bilberry sits down with Nathan Potter to unpack what it means to follow God with open hands. Nathan shares his family’s journey of obedience to the Philippines — selling their home and uprooting their lives as God calls them to global ministry.
Luke and Nathan explore how true surrender reshapes our definition of calling and home. Their conversation reveals that obedience isn’t about comfort, but about trusting God when the next step isn’t clear and discovering His faithfulness in the unknown.
Whether you’re wrestling with a big decision, leading your family through transition, or longing to live with greater purpose, this episode will challenge and encourage you to trust God completely.
What you’ll learn:
- What it really means to live with open hands before God
- How obedience often leads through discomfort before growth
- Why missions is more than a trip — it’s a way of life
- How to find contentment when God calls you into the in-between
